SPIRIT OP THE PITBLIC JOURNALA. We were greatly surprised on seeing in the Alornmg Chronicle of yesteeday, three letters published, which had passed between Mr. Hume imams in the month of Decein ber last. When we say "we were surprised,'"_ we mean, of course, that the subject of those letters had passed from our minds wholly and totally, like any thing forgotten,- and coald only have been been recalled by this publication. By the publication Mr. Hume, of course, wishes it to be inferred that we were stimulated by private resentment to the steps which we have taken with respect to the dis honourable proceedings hi the affair of the Greek Lean. Foolish man ! Why will you endeavour to blind yourself svith respect to tbe chanieter of your late conduct ? Why will you not feel a s y ou oug h t to f ee l, on an occasion which must give a character to whatever remains to you of life ? Look at the eountenances of your late friends, men who probably did not love you, fur you were not formed to be loved ; but who still valued your services. 1)o you think that such men were capable of imbibing any personal animosity of ours, or of being incited to die degree of disgust which they , now evince and express towards you, by our writings, although it is not our interest to deny their cogency, if you hail done nothing to degrade your self ? Think of these things, and be ashamed! Shame, in your situation,.is thq feeling which will tie you most credit : the act of reparation to the wronged may Speedil y follow. Besides, Sir, observe how inclined ever; obs is to impute übSurd motives to his accusers, 'father raftac knowledge, confess, and repair his . own m i scon d uct. _ In laying the recent dim 1 1 9 1!" !. proceedings of various kinds.before the public, we, have mentioned many names as well as yours. How could we have separate causes of animosity against all ~. .l o ost persons ? ma we any reason of resentment againsiMr. Brorn, for example, whose accept ance of the I,OOW, i n the rigna Mine affair we exposed? —againat istr. Bowring, Mr. Ellice, Mr. Burton, the Ri eardos ? We declare we scarcely knew that some of these men existed : and yet all and each of them will find out, that we have had some motive beyond that Of the country's honour, and our detestation if Wrong-doing, for speaking of their conduct as it has but too justly me rited.. This is extremely absurd; dnd to you, Mr. Home, and all those who adopt this Coarse, we should say " Gee tlemen, purify yotirselves, and get out of each other% com pany. Our motives, were they oven such as you describe them, cannot, make your case better or worse: we shall only carry con v i c ti on t o the bosoms of ethers, as we are sustained by reason and impart truth." Our treatment of Mr. Hume, indeed, singly—our anxiety to preserve, as far as possible, his usefulness—exposed us to censure, and our leniency to the suspicion of base motives, as he is well aware, if he has,read the recent poblicationi. Again mid again did we express the hope that be would retrieve his character _that he would fulfil his promise; and we h a d, , in consequence imputed to its a dishonourable dese r ti on o f the charg e s which we had brought for Ward, as the follow ing passages from a Sunday paper will prove : " The Times begins, as it seems to us, to relax, to repent, to conciliate, and to qualify." " The Timex newspaper, a day or two before, appeared inclined to trim." hi The Time, of the 4th instant, is the following pas. sage " However, after this exposure of what we nnist consider es a most erroneous mode of acting on the part of Mr. Hume, we will with equal frankness bestow our approbation on the honourable feelin g which dictated the following declaration The worst, 1 thick, that a n y nutsin candour tan say in this affair is, that I , rosy have evinced an over-atitiety to avoid a pecuniary loco, forced Upon we by the conduct of others: but I am, still willing to sub snit to the arbitration of two respectable and impartial men ; and if, after a ieview of the whole correspondence and circumatances, th ey shall determine that the Greek Government ought to profit St my expenco, through the misconduct of their Deputies, I will return the 1,5001., w i th i nterest up to the present time. ' Let thNique act up to this declaration :6f rather—he knows what e sentiments are on th e Subject .-... 1et him do that which his own heart now tells him to be just and proper : he has no to 4uhrtiit himself to the arbitration of others. Let not Mr. Mune, then, complain of ; For it was only when he stood forward with an effrontery, that we 'believe W4B never before attained to by mortal man, affect ing to conduct himself as if nothing had happened, and even to take a lead, that we lost all hope of his reconeilia tion with 'the.. moral habi ts or ' c i v ili ze d. life Since that time w e have shown lesN roerve ; but should be even still ready to hail his relituptiehme e t of the ill-gotten gain as an indication of repentance. To Aow Mr. flume that we do not think there is any thing iii those letters which he Ims nine published between hittielf and us, that gives him a victory which we should res ent , we shall reTublish them fro m the Morning Chronicte.--Tinats. hMr. WIWI): lntt night gave mik e of i t moti on i n which e would examine into „tie conduct put' red by the Go vernment retpretieic ..rCinttuoll of the Countr.

The evils of the existing system of beeking were no doubt considerable ; but they were at the sHine time greatly exaggepted. We by no means wish to deity that top greet, hicility, was allowed to the circulation of notes by improper persona, and that in times ,of pressure, the di stress was greatly increased by the alarm stmt want of confidence occasioned 'by the stoppage of romitry Banks. B ut Mi n i sters IN their eagerness to preserve the country from this evil, involved it in much mom -teripus one ; and no small part of the distress- of the country at' this time is attributable to their disturbance of a system, with the working of whkh it Was tvidinit they Were very imparfeetly ac painplilet, of great Merit on , internal Bills of Exchange, (4)untry illank.notes, .by a Mr. Henry Burgess, has just been put into our hands. This gentle -111811 is evidentlyfith inn ailiar wi t h the manner hich the stupendous machine or British industry is wrought ; and his publication, which appears in the shape of a Letter to Mr. Catmin contains very valuable information on many subjects with which we suspect' few Members of Parlia. .ment are well acquaint:cc!. We have no leisure or space at present to enter on n ut account of Mr. Burg ess ' s pam phlet. His views are diametrically opposit e to those out which Ministers have acted, and in man) • of them we think he is right. What he says in particular respecting credit, "a then ahstud doctrine which has been advocated by a pa r t of tlie London press ' . that tirade should only be carried on by thee possessed of wealth, is exceilent.—Morning Poet. We argue the case of Mr. Brogden upon principle—we leave this individual altogether out of the question—and the principle which we go, upon is this, that,itny RUM who accepted the °Mee% which that gentleman did in several of the " bubble" Companies, thereby incapacitated himself to hold the high and honourable appointment of Chairman of the Committee* of W And Means in the House of Com mons. Let us suppose this principle subverted in any one instance—let us imagine the p rece d ent once established of ail acti ve Di rector o r bubble schemes, being elected to fill this important Parliamentary Office, how could the House of 'commons ever set its face, with any show of con- Sistency, spinet the gambling transactions that im poverish the 'resources and degrade the morals or a country? Nay, Would it not operate us if the House of Commons tilt:PW (Tett its doors to afford is ready asylum to persona who, by raising their character up with gambling speculations;' drew upon themselves the indignant notice or public opinion 1' As to the particular charge brought against Mr. .Brogdeni of receiving a sum of money which was part of the proceeds of a (16.11011Cht transaction in the Aries. Mine Company, We put that aside for the present. We are willin g to believe him ignorant of the way in which that money Wl4B InUtlfild; although he was very culpable in not making more inquiry about it. But o ur objection to his filling the chai r o f the Committee of Ways and Miisna is on the broad ground that any individual, whoever he nifty be* that could associate and take offi ce w i t h' the infer mans ontrivers, of Joint Stock Bubbles, i i disqualified fr oMllasiding over the Committees whose duty It is to P rcn il 4 C:tta supplies for the honourable service of the Crown a tau not whether it be corruption or, vregip! Hess that led the individual into such disreputable associa tion. Neither a corrupt nor 'a weak man would enjoy the moral or personal respect that was necessary t o support the dignity of the office. Were such an appointment al lowable, it would be but one step more to select the !Speaker of the House of Commons from among those Members of Parliamont who had upon them the stain of 'disgraceful contact with the originators of the Joint Stock frauds. The character of the present Speaker has never been sullied by the imputation of any Bath low and un gentlemanly association. His acquirementS, his good taste, and dignified deportment, TMlify him for the exalted of .fice of ,presiding .over the deliberations; of the Commons of England; but had it happened that the Right lion. Gen tleman had retired from public life, or been raised to the Peerage before the assembling of the New Parliament, and had a candidate offered himself for the Speakership from among the Parliamentary bubble-mongers, 'what ob jection could there be made to him on principle, if Mr. Brogden had beenpermitted to assume the office next to the Speakership—nomely, that of Chairman of the Lo ai itt ees of 'Ways and Mean s ?

He last night brought under the notice of the House a petition of " Mr. Rogerylattery, Civil Engi neer, who had been the proprietor of the Arigna Iron Mines," against the Directors of the " Arigna Iron and Coal Company," of whom Mr. Brogden was one. There is nothing like respectable evidence to support a charge, and Mr. Waithman has been peculiarly happy—so happy, indeed, that he found it prudent to diielami ell communi cation with, as well as knotetedge of, the said Mr. Roger Flattery. The petition got up for this exhibiti on was pro perly disposed of, by being rejected; whether, because the House duly appreeiated the value of the affidavit which it contained, or the character, of the petitienerove presume not to surmise. For ourselves, we confess we feel a sort of vague curiosity, to learn something about this Mr. Roger Flat tery. Is he, for example, the saute " Civil Engineer," who tried, by an exaggerated report of the value of certain Mills, to induce the Flour Company to expend a few thousands ? Is lie the " Civil Engineer" who has caused several re spectable persons to be unjustly arrested ? Is he the same Civil Engineer" who built certain flour mills for two thousand pounds, or a little more, and afterwards consci 'entiously valued them at nine thousand ? With regard to the Arigna mines, we have an equal 'curiosity to learn something respecting the manner in which the said mines were originally transferred. We would ask, merely for in formation, whether he did not sign a receipt for 25,0001., the price to be charged to the. Company by his friends ? Whether he was not to receive 10,000/. himself, and be the manager of the mines, and the remaining fifteen to be shared ? Whether he did not himself have 1,000 shares ? And whether, en its being found that he was perfectly in competent to the management, he was not superseded ? i Whether he did riot, in consequence, threaten " to blow the whole thing," sinless he were reinstated ? Whether the agent of the former proprietor, when in town, did not attend a meeting of the Shareholders, and, like an Honour able Member of the House of Commons, indulge hi strange " personalities" at Mr. Flattery's expense ? Of course, if we could answer these questions ourselves, we would not trouble Mr. Flattery upon the subject : but, as we are merely humble seekers of truth, it is from him we must receive what we require.- 7 .4Veu; Tinto. THE YOUNG NAPOLEON. (From Notes and Reflectione during a Ramble in Germany.) An agreeable volume under the above title has recently been published by Messrs. Longman and Co. It is full of interesting matter; we select the, following account given by the Rambler of his having seen the young Napoleon : " Almost. all'the time I was at Vienna, young Napoleon WAS staying in the neighbourhood Presburgh with the Emperor, and I sadly feared that I should have no oppor tunity of him. lie came in, however, to the palace in the city for two or three days ; and before his return, an event occurred which, as it caused him to, appear on a public occasion, enabled me to see him under circumstances, to one of my cast, peculiierly interesting. News had ar rived in the capita that the died most suddenly. usual woral or y d orders were Bavaria a iate ha ly d young given for performing funeral cere f m o o le ni p es ala i e n e. hon T o h u e r of his memory, in the private. chapel o Napoleon and a brother of the Emperor, being tity, theoiil members of the Imperial Family present in the , assist ed at these honours. There was a vigil service the first evening, and a grand mass and requiem on the morrow. I was•present at both; the Court only on the'first. " In the centre of the chapel a kingly crown and a ducal cap lay glittering upon a black pall, which covered a raised. (pageant) bier. Innumerable tall and massive church candlesticks of silver, were ranged round the bier; and the thick,pale torches shed on it their white and sickly rays. A row of priests stood with their clasped hands pointed in prayer on one sid e; a ran k o f t h e Lif e or Palace Guards, in scarlet clothing, leaned upon their halberts, on that Op posite. At the head of the bier, some twenty officers of the •- Hungarian Grenadiers and two or three Hussar officers; who accomp an i e d the commander of the garrison, stood, closely grouped. A few persons of distinction sat in private pews, in a gallery above, that have glass win dows looking into the chapel. Among these, in a pew by himself, next that of the Itniperor's brother, was the young Napoleon. He leaned Lem the open window duringg the service : his complexion is very fair, his forehead geod, the lowest part of his face short and rounded; his nose not very prominent, but well shaped. The colour of his eyes, I could not distinguish, and, except for a few moments, saw him only in profile ; but he impresses you as a very good-looking, gentleman-like boy, with an appearance somwhat above his age. His hands were clasped together, and he seemed to take that feeling interest in the scene, which is alike natural and becoming in a youth of fifteen. The solemnity of the service, and the sweetness of the singing, were perhaps, the only things that moved or occu pied his young mind; and yet it is more than probabl e that be would know, and might, at such a moment, have reineMbered, that, but for his father, these obsequies might have been electoral, and not regal; that the kingly crown upon that bier was the gift Of tkat.father, when he decreed that the Elector of Bavaria should wear one. The regal honours and powers which he had bestowed had outliVed • • his own, even in life; and in death he himself had laid down in the grave of an exile. The son might. remember, that no such requiem was sung over the distant tomb of that father; but that th e enemies who had guarded him living, and who could not deny him the funeral of a soldier, guarded him dead. All this he might remember, and might secretly vow to see his father's bones yet deposited in a fitting Serilehie. I admit, h owever , t h at a ll t hi s i s not ve l'Y Probable ; for I learn that he is bred up in a paticti.. tally quiet, way, is little on horseback, and seldom or ever seen amtuig the troops, or encouraged to any martial tastes. Circumst ance g, however, bring about strange and miractt. bolls chan ges in, or rather developments of human charae. ter ; and the stirring trumpet may yet sound, which shall awaken in th e b o som of this youth the stern and ambitious spirit of his father." it gives us pleasure to state that nearly 4000 articles of wa st i ng a pparel were 4 listrilotted during the last week, by the 'beret visitors of the Bradford Lathes' Mating Society...... Leeds -44iterine' SLAVE TRADE. Palo, NOY. 26.—A Journal gives the following ac count'of the capture of a Sp a ni s h tie, to vessel, tinder a Dutch flag; under peculiarly afflicting eirettinstances " Two , of f icers of a eruizing vessel having gone on board a schooner to elcdmine its phpers, the Captain told them his vessel was Dutch ; and its tarp sugar. The Officers, after along search, discovered, in fact, no tither merchandize. However, something having excited their suspicion, one of the Officers went below to the hold, and perceived the legs of a black; he withdrew a curtain, and was struck with horror at the sight of 240 slaves, sick, or dying of hunger. Only 47 days had passed since they were collected on the coasts Of Guinea, and of three hum; died, sixty had , already died. There *ere provisions bit board only for bho day. Some morsels - of yams were thrown to them, and they seized upon them, like starving dogs. Otte of ;hem, bail bitten brig companion on the shoulder, in the most horrible manner." Por such barbarity as arises hi this traffic ; it is but a bad excuse to say the aegroes would.be worse treated in Ame rica or the Colonies. We ire not permitted to state their injuries, for fear their countrymen should do them more. Some will persuade us it is from motives of compassion and humanity that the European merchants carry on this trade. There is one certain fact, that before the este . - - blishment of this coinuierce, War was made more rarely than at present, and the most ordinary motive of the pre sent wars is, the desire of making prisoners to sell to Europeans. If there were no buyers there would be no sellers, and this infamous commerce would fall of itself. Who would undertake the apology of the Turkish mei. chanti, who go to buy girls in Circassia, to populate the seraglios of Asia ? LAW INTELLIGENCE, irichtiiAistatoit's coinvf--i , lnv. 28.

Mr. DENuArt showed cause against a rule obtained a' few days since at the instance of C. H. Hartshorne, Esq. against the defendant, as the printer and publisher of the John Bull, for a libel of an offensive nature.—Rule absolute. COURT OF EXCHEQUER) Nov. 28. TIM KING V. VETO. Mr. PATTESON moved, that the Court do direct, that the execution of judgment, which was given,in this case yes terday for the Crown, should be Stayed. In conse quence of what had fallen from one of their Lordships during the discussion, the defendant had some hopes of experiencing relief in another quarter: his .Counsel bad not as yet determined whether' they should deem it more advisable to recommend a writ of error, which could not be proceeded in without the permission of the Attorney-General, or to resort to a Court of Equity. He grounded his motion on the affidavit of the defendant, which stated that the plans and specifications of the build ings were prepared by Mr. Laing, assisted as to the foun dations, by the late Mr. Rennie. That in the execution of the works, the defendant was advised by his then attar ney, Mr. Bray, that he would be safe by obeying the orders Of Mr. Laing. That on one occasion Mr. Laing gave him notice that if he was not attended to, he (Mr. Laing) was authorized to stop the works. That he had in every parti cular honestly obeyed the orders of Mr., Laing. The affi davit of , the defendant (in substance as above) being read, Mr. Patteson hoped that. the Court would deem it suffi cient ground for granting his application. The COURT inquired if the Attorney-General had any objection? The ATTORNEY-GENERAL deemed it more advisable for M. Patteson not to press his motion ; if he did, he (the Attorney-General) would oppose it. Mr. PATTENON declined to persevere in his motion, his sole object being to submit the matter to the discretion of the Court. Mr. Baron Gonow,had no doubt but that Mr. Peto's case would meet with humane consideration in the proper quarter. LORD MAYOR'S COURT, Nov. 28. THE ItANOIC OF LONDON I'. MARMADUKE THOfir6oN. In this case a Special Jury was summoned to assess the amount of compensation to be paid to Mr. M. Thompson, the freeholder of the Red-cross Wharf, in Old Swan passage, adjoining the east side of FishMongers'-hall, for the loss, of his premises, and also the compensation due to him for the injury which might be done to him by the re moval of his trade as a coal-merchant. ' The COMMON SERGEANT stated the case on behalf of the Lord Mayor and Corporation. After notice had been given to Mr. Thompson that his premises would be requi site for formi ng part o f t h e improvements of the New London Bridge, h e sent i n a c l a i m of 18,0001. for the loss of his business, b e i ng six years' purchase, at 3,0001. per annum.' For the loss and injury to be sustained by his waggons, the sum of 1,7854 . In the whole 19,7851., which he required, exclusive of compensation for the loss of his premises, which he offered to forego on condition that the committee provided him with another convenient Wharf. This, however, the ,committee had not in their power to do.— The claim m a d e b y M r . Thompson for his freehold amounted to 20,0004 The utmost value assigned, to it by competent persons, on behalf of the Corporation , did not exceed 12,000/. The • committee considered the whole claim to be so exorbitant, that they. thought proper to re fer them to a jury. The Jury, after having retired for a considerable length of time, gave a ver di ct , assess i ng t h e va lue of the - freehold at 14,6171., and gi v i ng trade, fixtures, &c. 4,1 -38/. ifs., being 22,1081. ley than the amount claimed. Th e tri:d lasted until nine O'clock at night. Robert Collins, the t ena n t upon sufferance of a coal wharfas compensation for the loss of belonging Mr. Thompson, and situated u po n Red Cross-wharf, claimed 1,658/.

MANSION-HOUSE: Purse, the pawnbroker ' of Lon don-wall, was summoned before the Lord Mayor, to accotMe for the detention of a gold chain which had been offered him to plt , ilge; The complainant stated his name was Thompson, when. he offered the chain to pledge. The Loan MAYoit—Praki Sir, is that your real name? Complainant—No, my Lord. The LOAD Mayou—What is your, real name? Complainant--I do not think proper to make it known. The Loan Mavcia:— . -Theit I cannot hear you. I cannot hear a charge preferred by an anonyttious person against a tradesman who is known. Complainant—My Lord, lam a tradesman, and the eiretun stance of my application to a pawnbroker might injure my credit if it becaMe khdivii. I will write -my name down, and commu nicate ii in yout Lordshiii, lid I cannot state it publicly. The Loan Mavoit,--I cannot receive if, except in the the same public' manner as the defendant's name is received, The complainant, then, on his Lordship's positive refusal to hear the case, except under his real name and address, then gavot it : but his Lordship suggested, subsequently, to a gentleman connected with the Press, that as nothing appeared to depend upon the nan-ie or individual at regarded the public, it might as well be omitted. The complainant stated, that he offered to pledge a chain, which lie had every reason then, and even now, to believe to he gold. The pawnbroker, instead of receiving or rejecting it, thought proper, without putting it to the usual test, to declare it to be a fraudulent article, and to charge him with having offered it with an intention to defraud. They detained the chain, and positively refused either to give it up, to cut it, or' return him the money. The pawnbroker's shopinan stated, that the trade generally had latterly been extensively defrauded by means of counterfeit geld chains, which were so well gilt as to stand the common test of aqua fortis.—Dismissed. GUILDHALL.--Mr. Goundry, the projector of the Tea Coin pany speculation, applied to have a warrant lodged at the White cross-street gaol, against one John Archer, the Steward of the Poultry Ward, for five different assaults between the 2d of Sep ternber and the Bth of October. Goundry had, it seems, just obtained his liberation, Sir PETER. Lauftle said, the prisoners ;were a sad rebellious set ; he had received three or four letters that morning, calling on him to go to the prison to hear charges of assault; and, said the Alderman, I suppose you can tell me something about one of them that relates to the tatting of Mr. Mapleston. " Yes, I can ;" replied Goundry, who is a jovial, broad-faced farmer-looking man, but dressed in the peculiar garb, and affect ing the manners and style of the quakers. " 1 saw him," said he, " come into the liifirirtary, with his head cut and bleeding. If the prisoners rebel, it is the fault of the Magistrates, who do nut do their duty when complaints are made." Sir Pairs said, the Magistrates usually found the complaints very frivolous, and their decisions therefore gave little satisfac tion. Neat week, however, a day should be set apart for the hearing of complaints, of which Mr. Goundry should have due notice. BOW-STREET.—Yeaterday Edward liforlimee and Edward Newland, two well-known characters, were charged with the fol lowing impudent robbery :—The prisoners, with another' of their fraternity, were prowling about Covent-garden metket, yes&rday morning early, when they met with a respectably dressed man, moth intoxicated. They followed him until he fell down, vital they picked hint up, a . . d led him to a wine vault, where he treat, ed them to liquor for their seeming kindness. They then went to another house, and there, while sitting in conversation, Mortimer was observed by two little girls, venders of water creases, who had obtained leave of the landlord to warm their half-frozen hands by his fire, to be very busy about the upper part of the stranger's trousers, and at length they saw him take a watch from the stran ger's fob, and put it into his own pocket. The three then left the house ; but the girls having informed the landlord of what they had seen, a pursuit was raised, • and they' were found comfortably seated in a neighbouring barber's shop, about to undergo the ope ration of hair cutting. The prisoners had nothing to say, and were fully committed. • An. unfortunate girl was brought to the office, by Stevens, en suspicion of having poisoned herself. Sir R. BIRNIF. advised her to be looked after; in the mean time, he said, be would see if anything could be done with a view to a permanent provision for her. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. —John Ind was charged, un der Mr. Martin'i Aet, with beating a sheep, on the 13th Nov., cruelly and wantonly ; the eye of the animal was beaten out of the socket. Mr. Corraxr said the masters seemed to encourage their ser. 'rants to strike the animals en the head : he should therefore wake an example of the prisoner. The fine was not less than 10s., nor more than 51. ; as the case was an atrocious one, he should convict him in $ l. The prisoner not being able to pay, was committed for two months. MARYLEBONE.—YesterdaySir Anthony Carlisle appeared upon summons, before Mr. Garrvvrrr, charged by the driver of the hack►►ey-coach, No. 677, with having refused to pay him his legal fare. Mr. Gwynn decided the case in the coachman's favour, and Sir Anthony paid the other shilling with costs. UNION-HALL—A young fashionably dressed man, named Joh* Routh, was charged with embezzling 91. 10s., the property of Messrs. Davy, Sawyers, and Co. The prisoner, who was extremely agitated, hoped he would not be committed to the common gaol ; but was told by the Ma gistrate that he had no discretion. lie was, however, allowed to go thither in a coach. Ile was a very gentlemanly looking young man, and dressed, not only well, but splendidly. On Sunday night one of the watchmen, in Surrey New-road, on returning from calling the hour, found his box iu possession of a female who refused to give it up, without, however, uttering a word. She was,' by the assistance of another watchman, ejected, and carried to the watch-house, where she was as stubbornly silent as in the box. By the advice of a surgeon she was removed to the workhouse, where she persevered in the same strangely ob durate behaviour. Yesterday afternoon her weakness was ex treme, and she was pronounced to be in a dying state. She is rather good looking, apparently about nineteen years of age ; had on a cottage-Shaped bonnet, a red shawl, and a blue cotton gown.

STRANGE DiscovEßY.---About midnight on the 9th instant, the keeper of the b ar a t Il o lb ee k , near Leeds, was alarmed by a singular sound, whi c h it appeared proceeded from a shed belonging if waedectoovearepdottetliaryt; and on a m ore part i cular examine a man and woman had both fallen into a 'draw-well in the shed, seven yards deep, and containing about five feet of water. With a good deal of difficulty the parties rvere'extricated from their perilous situation, and plated upon terra firma, when they explained that they had retired together to the abed, not being aware of the well, or of the cooling immer. sine that awaited them. The lady, it appears, is an inhabitant of one of the neighbouring streets, but the gentleman described himself as having come to Leeds fair from near Halifax. In the .course of the following day, a silk shawl arid a reticule, the latter containing a quantity of silver and copper coin, were found in the well, and restored to the frail oamer.--Staffordshirs Advertiser.

Th. Sugar Market ibis morning did not opo; with the briskness that was expected, though the deliveries froaft the warehouse, are 1,200 casks more than the corresponding week of last year, and a far ther reduction of 1,700 casks in the comparative stocks.
